Sit at tables and introduce the Girl Scout Law using the Flower Friends (GGGS pages 6 –

7).

Stay at the tables or get in the Girl Scout Daisy Circle to read, “Lupe’s Story” from the

awards section of the Girl’s Guide.

Talk about “Lupe’s Story” using the questions in The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting.

Play a game like Musical Chairs, Red Light, Green Light or Duck, Duck, Goose. Talk about

the rules, and then follow them as you play. This shows practical application of the

Honest and Fair law.

NOTE: We played Musical Chairs and the girls came up with a very honest and fair way to determine elimination if two people were in the same chair...Rock, Paper, Scissors. I was very impressed.

Get in the Girl Scout Daisy Circle and say the first line of the Law (Lupe’s line).

Congratulate the girls for earning their Lupe, Honest and Fair, petal.

If there is still time you could play a game of Daisy Says: This game is like “Simon Says” but the caller is “Daisy” instead of “Simon.” Also, in this version no one gets out by making a mistake but continues to play and have fun but learns from their mistakes by trying to follow the rules. This game can teach playing fair and respecting authority.

1. The caller is “Daisy”

2. When the caller says, “Daisy says to touch your toes” everyone touches their toes and

stays in position until the next command.

3. If the caller says, “Jump up and down three times,” but does not say “Daisy says” then

girls should not move. Those that do are caught and stay in the game.

4. Give the caller a few chances to stump the others and then switch callers.

Clean-up

Remind the girls of kapers and work together to leave the site better than you found it.

Closing

Form a Daisy Circle and ask, “How can you practice being honest and fair this week?”

Explain that they will receive the Promise Center and Lupe, Honest and Fair, petal badges

at the Investiture Ceremony. In the meantime, they can use the Promise Center and

Lupe, Honest and Fair, petal stickers and awards log in the Girl’s Guide.

Explain that they will join hands for a special Girl Scout closing called the Friendship

Circle and friendship squeeze. Stand in a circle, cross right over left in front, hold hands

with girls on both sides.

Sing, “Goodbye, Daisies.”

(To the tune of “Good-night, Ladies”)

Goodbye, Daisies

Goodbye, Daisies

Goodbye, Daisies

It’s sad to see you go.

When everyone is silent, one girl starts the friendship squeeze by squeezing the hand of

the person to her left. One by one, moving clockwise, each girl passes on the squeeze

until it travels all the way around the circle. (Tip: To ensure the squeeze makes it around

the circle, have each girl point her toe into the circle when she receives the squeeze.)

ABOUT ME

For as long as I can remember I have been a creative soul. I was always drawing or coloring as a child and as a teenager I started scrapbooking. Photos from school events, newspaper clipping, mementos, and other assorted stuff. I was a designer on my high school yearbook staff and an illustrator for the high school newspaper.

When I went to college, my plan was to be a journalist or broadcaster. I took an entry level graphic design course and my major was signed. Technically, I was an Art major with a concentration in Graphic Design and I minored in both Advertising and Broadcast and Cinematic Arts.

As fate would have it I ended up in a career in Broadcasting (which was my first love) however my love of art is always with me.

As an adult my one major creative outlet has been scrapbooking. I love it! It is a way for me to work creatively with my hands and preserve precious memories for my family. I have made so many friends through scrapbooking and have over 20 completed books. It is a never-ending process to scrap our lives, but I’m making headway and hope that I never catch up.
